Gluetal Region and Hip Joint Flashcards
what part of the innominate bone participates in the hip joint
acetabulum
what does the gluteal line do
divides the surface of the bone into different areas
what is the angle that the femur sits as known as
angle of inclination
who has a narrower angle on inclination, males or females
females
what is the angle between the femur and the condyles known as
the angle of anteversion
what are the different groups of the muscles of the glueal region
lateral rotators of the hip, medial rotators and abductors of the hip, and support muscle
what muscles are the lateral rotators of the hip
gluteus maximus, piriformis, obturator internus, gemelli and quadratus femoris
what muscles are the medial rotators and abductors of the hip
gluteus medius and minimus
what is the support muscle
the tensor fasciae latae
attachment/insertion of gluteus maximus
attach - sacrum, sacrotuberous ligament and the ileum behind the posterior gluteal line
insert - 3/4th into the iliotibial tract and 1/4th into the gluteal tuberosity of the femur
function of gluteus maximus
hip extension and assists in lateral rotation
innervation of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve (L5-S2)
attachment/insertion of tensor fasciae latae
attach - anterior iliac crest and the anterior superior ischial spine
insert - the iliotibial tract
function of tensor fascia latae
tenses the fasciae latae and iliotibial tract
supports the femur on tibia while standing
innervation of tensor fascia latae
superior gluteal nerve (L5-S1)
attachemnt/insertion of gluteus medius
attach - ilium between the posterior and anterior gluteal lines
insert - greater trochanter of the femur on the lateral surface
function of gluteus medius
abducts and medially rotates the hip
innervation of gluteus medius
superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)
attachment/insertion of gluteus minimus
attach - ilium between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines
inserts - he anterior surface of the greater trochanter of the femur
function of gluteus minimus
abducts and medially rotates the hip
innervation of gluteus minimus
superior gluteal nerve (L4S1)
attachment/insertion of piriformis
attach - the anterior sacrum and the sacrotuberous ligament
inserts - the superior border of the greater trochanter of the femur
where does piriformis pass through
the greater sciatic foramen
